Wound healing of intestinal epithelial cells

TL;DR: The function of IECs, the process of intestinal epithelium wound healing, and the functions and mechanisms of the various factors that contribute to gut homeostasis and intestinal epithelial wound healing are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of interleukin-8 in cancer cells and microenvironment interaction.

TL;DR: Interleukin (IL)-8, a cytokine of the CXC chemokine family that was originally classified as a neutrophil chemoattractant, is now reported to play an important role in tumor progression and metastasis in a variety of human cancers, including lung cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in immune-related gene expression and intestinal lymphocyte subpopulations following Eimeria maxima infection of chickens.

TL;DR: A global chicken intestinal immune response is produced following experimental Eimeria infection involving multiple cytokines, chemokines, and T cell subsets, as well as changes in IEL numbers were quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyclooxygenases and prostaglandins: shaping up the immune response.

TL;DR: This review attempts to integrate information on prostanoids and both the innate and acquired immune responses, including effects on leukocytes, antigen presenting cells, dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes, to afford novel therapeutic opportunities.
Book ChapterDOI

The Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment and Its Impact on Cancer Development

TL;DR: The following chapter focuses on the inflammatory components and processes engaged during cancer development and the impact of the inflammatory microenvironment.

Two subsets of memory T lymphocytes with distinct homing potentials and effector functions

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of CCR7, a chemokine receptor that controls homing to secondary lymphoid organs, divides human memory T cells into two functionally distinct subsets, which are named central memory (TCM) and effector memory (TEM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Function of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in haematopoiesis and in cerebellar development

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of the involvement of a G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor in neuronal cell migration and patterning in the central nervous system and may be important for designing strategies to block HIV entry into cells and for understanding mechanisms of pathogenesis in AIDS dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defects of B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiesis in mice lacking the CXC chemokine PBSF/SDF-1

TL;DR: It is shown that the chemokine PBSF/SDF-1 has several essential functions in development, including B-cell lymphopoiesis and bone-marrow myelopoiedis and a cardiac ventricular septal defect.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCR7 coordinates the primary immune response by establishing functional microenvironments in secondary lymphoid organs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemokine receptor CCR7 was identified as an important organizer of the primary immune response in mice, and severely delayed kinetics regarding the antibody response and lack contact sensitivity and delayed type hypersensitivity reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new class of membrane-bound chemokine with a CX3C motif

TL;DR: The structure, biochemical features, tissue distribution and chromosomal localization of CX3C chemokine all indicate that it represents a unique class of chemokines that may constitute part of the molecular control of leukocyte traffic at the endothelium.
